(CNN) -- Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will go head-to-head for a place at the 2014 World Cup after Portugal and Sweden were drawn together in the European qualification playoffs.

Portugal captain Ronaldo will lead his team out against Ibrahimovic's Sweden, with one of the star duo set to miss out on a ticket to football's biggest tournament following the draw at FIFA headquarters in Zurich.

Eight second-place teams from the nine European groups will compete over two legs for four World Cup berths.

Paulo Bento's Portugal were pipped to automatic qualification by one point, finishing behind Fabio Capello's Russia. If Portugal fail to qualify it will be the first time they have missed the tournament since 1998.

Sweden, coached by Erik Hamren, will be desperate to reach a 12th World Cup after missing out on South Africa 2010.
